abstract="Policies and programmes for the victims of crime are beginning to emerge in Canada, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. In Canada, the federal Government launched its Justice for Victims of Crime Initiative and spent money trying to prompt a relatively inert &quot;private sector&quot; into organising itself. In England and Wales, a rapidly expanding National Association of Victims Support Schemes repeatedly petitioned an apparently unresponsive Government for funding. When it was offered appreciable support, its character and methods were set. Federal and central Governments display important differences in their style, rate and structure of policy-making, and it is those differences which explain some of the contrasts in the social organisation of relief for victims of crime.<p />",
